CILT response to the consultation of the GREEN PAPER: Promoting the learning mobility of young people (pdf, 154 kb)

Spending a period in another country for studying, learning, work experience or volunteering is one of the fundamental ways in which young people can strengthen their future employability as well as their personal development. With this Green Paper the Commission launched a public consultation (opened until 15 December 2009) on a range of questions: How can we convince more young people to go abroad for learning? What obstacles there are at present? How can we get a wide range of players - the Commission, Member States, regions, education and training institutions, NGOs – to join forces in a new partnership for learning mobility?
